If you have a personal monitor already, and you're getting a new PA, then I definitely *wouldn't* get a separate keyboard amp. Put the money for that towards a decent PA, preferably with one or two subwoofers, or at least 15" speakers on your tops if you're not getting subs. (That is one way in ...

>keys often do much better through a keyboard amp than a "regular" PA system. Not true. In fact, it's usually the other way around. Keyboard amps can be mediocre. I never liked Roland's KC range either. For that reason I switched to using a single PA active monitor for my keyboard amp instead of a ...

I'm a fan of teaching little kids clapping exercises as well as starting on an instrument. It's easy to make the exercises fun, so the kids hardly feel they're working, it improves their basic rhythm, plus you can easily introduce crotchets, quavers and minims into it before long so they get used to ...

Having taken a long break from recording, and looking to come back to it eventually, I was wondering – mainly out of academic interest – about the following. Do studios – pro, semi-pro, or home – prefer to do their digital recording via a mixer with a multi-channel USB output these days? Or do they s ...

I never put a frame around my rockwool slabs, but that requires buying ones that you know can support themselves, and it depends on how you're installing them. They can vary quite a lot in how stiff they are. Generally the thinner ones tend to be flimsier and fall over more, but it depends on how ...

(I said "recording console" but I meant "recording studio" – they're selling it as a recording studio in a box.)

I don't think the Signature 22 provides mulritrack recording. You’re right Hugh, sorry, I meant the MTK version. The MTK version doesn't provide on-board multitrack recording either, it just provides a multitrack USB output for sending to a DAW. A quick look at the Tascam website shows that they a ...

White Rock is an under-appreciated album, great fun.

I would argue that it isn’t better. I took Resolve off my computer because it is totally unintuitive. I couldn't even do a simple thing like extract four channels of audio files from an MP4. I bought Vegas once they came back to their senses from the idiotic subscription model. Nobody except i ...

I'm still pretty happy with my Stylophone S-1, the classic model. If it's good enough for Brett Domino, it's good enough for me.

And here is a government document called "Permitted development rights for householders – Technical Guidance", which is basically just a commentary on the 2008 Town and Country Planning, England Act. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/8 ...

Here's the relevant 2008 Town and Country Planning Act, England:

It's quite short and not a difficult read. You mainly need to read the Class E section.

As I have just been helping a friend think about putting up a big shed, I have some useful links for you. Here's the official government planning website, which can help you see if you need planning. https://www.planningportal.co.uk/permission/common-projects/outbuildings/is-building-regulations ...

Personally I'd like more space on the desk, but that may not bother you.

If you download TreeSize (there's a free version), it will enable you to quickly see what's taking up the most space on your system drive, because it will order folders according to size. Lot's of unnecessary stuff accumulates in the Local and Roaming folders in the AppData folder in the Users ...

I use Brave and for the first time ever recently I got YT refusing to play a video until I turned off my adblocker.

According to a 2019 review you could make a 96-key keyboard out of it. But this is not mentioned on the current website, so I suppose there wasn't too much demand for that. I could make use of it, but unless you're playing on large stages other band members would complain.

I sold my original Amiga 1000 years ago. If I known there was an OS 4 I would have... still sold it, actually. Got a good price.

Blake McQueen from Coralspin made just this complaint in Sound on Sound nine years ago:

I'm applying for a job to be the local delivery man in Elf's street. It'll be a real shame if certain items fail to make it to his house. Must have fallen off the back of the truck.

Incidentally, it's unwise to sign up on a forum and link to a new product with your first post, because it then looks like spam, even if it isn't. Especially when the first part of the name you've chosen is the same as the name of the developer of the product. Really don't see the point of it ...

Polyphonic aftertouch? The Elf must be so close to heaven, if only he didn't have to deal with the wall wart.

I tried a Roli years ago, thought it was a nice idea in theory, but a bankruptcy waiting to happen in reality. I was right. It's hard enough to make money from the keyboard players who will buy a keyboard, making money from the 3 in a 100 interested in this sort of thing was never going to happen ...
